* You can overclock the processor upto 4.5Ghz with the Hyper 212+ if you need. Basically turbo boost does its job pretty fine, still, if you are an enthusiast or freak then....

* The motherboard offers PCIe 3.0 slots. SLI/CF at x8/x8 dual mode.

* The RAM being 1.5v is ideal for Sandy Bridge.

* The GPU comes with special HSF from HIS. Highly overclockable, it can maxx out BF3 at 1080p alone.

Feel free to ask me if you have any questions in mind.
 
A GTX 580 is better than a HD 6970, but 6970 is a good overclocker. The difference in performance will be negligible once you overclock it. Plus, It can maxx out any games at 1080p alone. So, thats just fine for even a hardcore gamer.
